[blindLaw] NABL 2022 Annual Meeting

[Scott C. LaBarre]

Greetings NABL!!

 

Tomorrow, July 7th, we will be holding our Annual Meeting here at the NFB
Convention at 1:00 PM Central time in the Marriott, Galerie 3 which is on
the Second Floor.  We will also be Zooming the meeting.  The link is below
in our Agenda.  Payment of dues and for access to the materials is on the
honor   system this year.  There are two ways to do this.  First, go to:

www.blindlawyers.net <http://www.blindlawyers.net> 

and use the Pay Pal link to make the appropriate payment.  Second, you can
pay in person tomorrow at Galerie 3 starting at 12:30 PM.  

 

Now, for access to the materials, you can visit our Dropbox and download
them directly.  Go to:

Again, we are operating on the honor system.  If you are an attorney and are
going to use the materials to support a CLE application, please pay the
additional fee.  For others, we appreciate whatever additional contribution
you may be able to make to support the cost of assembling all of these
materials.  

 

Okay, here is the agenda complete with the Zoom link.  It will be great
seeing many of you in person, and we look forward to connecting virtually as
well.
